Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-57135-7 - A. W. H. Phillips: Collected Works in Contemporary Perspective Edited by Robert Leeson Frontmatter More information Virtually all of contemporary macroeconomics is underpinned by a Phillips Curve of one variety or another; yet most of this literature dis- plays a curious neglect of the theoretical dynamic stabilisation perspec- tive provided by A. W. H. Phillips. This volume collects for the ®rst time the major works of one of the great economists, integrating Phillips' empirical work with this theoretical contribution. In addition to twelve substantive chapters, twenty-nine economists including Lawrence Klein, James Meade, Thomas Sargent, Adrian Pagan, Peter Phillips, David Hendry, William Baumol, Richard Lipsey and Geoffrey Harcourt high- light and interpret Phillips' on-going in¯uence. This volume also contains six of Phillips' previously unpublished essays, four of which were thought to have been lost. The ®fth such essay (Phillips' second empirical Phillips Curve) was previously an informal working paper of which few copies circulated, and the sixth essay is a forerunner of the Lucas Critique written by Phillips shortly before his death. ROBERT LEESON is Associate Professor at Murdoch University, Australia and was previously Bradley Fellow at the University of Western Ontario. i © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-57135-7 - A.

    Italian Economics

    The Structure of Post-Keynesian Economics: The Core Contributions of the Pioneers G. C. Harcourt* Abstract: This paper summarises the key elements of Geoffrey Harcourt’s (2006) book of the same title. Special emphasis is given to the contribution of the Cambridge pioneers, such as John Maynard Keynes, Richard Kahn, Joan Robinson, Nicholas Kaldor, Michal Kalecki, Richard Goodwin, Piero Sraffa, Luigi Pasinetti, and Dennis Robertson. The objective of their approaches is to comprehend the dynamics of an advanced capitalist economy, particularly in the context of a monetary system of production. Here, investment leads and saving follows, while the marginal propensity to save of capitalists is greater than that of workers. The economic surplus is produced in the consumption goods sector, and utilised in the capital goods sector. Mark-up pricing is important for the determination of the surplus, as is the trade off between profit-margins and sales. Kalecki’s principle of increasing risk plays a role in the cyclical dynamics, as does the two-sided relationship between profitability and accumulation. The prevailing business climate is important in determining future expectations, while endogenous money and credit help to finance investment. Growth is thus endogenous in these models of finance, accumulation and profit, while potential conflict plays a role in the pricing and investment decisions and in the process of inflation. A general policy vision emanates from these foundations. 1 Introduction I start, first, by thanking the original inhabitants of the land on which we are now meeting for their courtesy in having us as their guests. Secondly, I must apologise to Peter Groenewegen and John King as they have already heard me talking on the present topic at the ESHET Conference in Porto in April 2006.
  • How the Rational Expectations Revolution Has Enriched

    How the Rational Expectations Revolution Has Enriched

    How the Rational Expectations Revolution Has Changed Macroeconomic Policy Research by John B. Taylor STANFORD UNIVERSITY Revised Draft: February 29, 2000 Written versions of lecture presented at the 12th World Congress of the International Economic Association, Buenos Aires, Argentina, August 24, 1999. I am grateful to Jacques Dreze for helpful comments on an earlier draft. The rational expectations hypothesis is by far the most common expectations assumption used in macroeconomic research today. This hypothesis, which simply states that people's expectations are the same as the forecasts of the model being used to describe those people, was first put forth and used in models of competitive product markets by John Muth in the 1960s. But it was not until the early 1970s that Robert Lucas (1972, 1976) incorporated the rational expectations assumption into macroeconomics and showed how to make it operational mathematically. The “rational expectations revolution” is now as old as the Keynesian revolution was when Robert Lucas first brought rational expectations to macroeconomics. This rational expectations revolution has led to many different schools of macroeconomic research. The new classical economics school, the real business cycle school, the new Keynesian economics school, the new political macroeconomics school, and more recently the new neoclassical synthesis (Goodfriend and King (1997)) can all be traced to the introduction of rational expectations into macroeconomics in the early 1970s (see the discussion by Snowden and Vane (1999), pp. 30-50). In this lecture, which is part of the theme on "The Current State of Macroeconomics" at the 12th World Congress of the International Economic Association, I address a question that I am frequently asked by students and by "non-macroeconomist" colleagues, and that I suspect may be on many people's minds.
  • Nobel Memoir

    Nobel Memoir

    Memoir JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ I was born in Gary, Indiana, at the time, a major steel town on the southern shores of Lake Michigan, on February 9, 1943. Both of my parents were born within six miles of Gary, early in the century, and continued to live in the area until 1997. I sometimes thought that my perignations made up for their stability. There must have been something in the air of Gary that led one into economics: the first Nobel Prize winner, Paul Samuelson, was also from Gary, as were several other distinguished economists. (Paul allegedly once wrote a letter of recommendation for me which summarized my accomplishments by saying that I was the best economist from Gary, Indiana.) Certainly, the poverty, the discrimination, the episodic unemployment could not but strike an inquiring youngster: why did these exist, and what could we do about them. I grew up in a family in which political issues were often discussed, and debated intensely. My mother’s family were New Deal Democrats—they worshipped FDR; and though my uncle was a highly successful lawyer and real estate entrepreneur, he was staunchly pro-labor. My father, on the other hand, was probably more aptly described as a Jeffersonian democrat; a small businessman (an independent insurance agent) himself, he repeatedly spoke of the virtues of self-employment, of being one’s own boss, of self-reliance. He worried about big business, and valued our competition laws. I saw him, conservative by nature, buffeted by the marked changes in American society during the near-century of his life, and adapt to these changes.

  • The Dynamic Society

    The Dynamic Society

    THE DYNAMIC SOCIETY ‘Professor Snooks has undertaken as ambitious a project as one could possibly conceive of...it is a stimulating work, and one which shows an immense amount of reading, and an organization of the material into an interesting and highly speculative, but fascinating structure.’ Douglass C.North, Nobel Laureate in Economics In The Dynamic Society Graeme Snooks has set himself the highly ambitious task of exploring the driving force of global change over the past 2 million years. This path-breaking book is divided into three parts: • Part I—outlines and explains the entire history of life on earth, by developing a fully dynamic model, not just of genetic change, but of the broader wave-like fluctuations of biological activity. Central to this is the dynamic role of the individual operating in a competitive environment. • Part II—provides a critical review of current interpretations about the course of history and the forces driving it. • Part III—develops an entirely new interpretation of the dynamics of human society over the past 2 million years. It analyses how individuals in a competitive environment generate growth by investing in the dynamic strategies of family multiplication, conquest, commerce, and technology. It argues that the rise and fall of societies is an outcome of the development and exhaustion of these strategies. The author also employs his dynamic strategy model to discuss future outcomes for human society, controversially arguing that far from leading to ecological destruction, growth-inducing technological change is both necessary and liberating. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that dynamism, not stasis, is the essential condition of human society, as it is of life.

    Walking a Tightrope: the Neoclassical Synthesis in Action

    Walking a tightrope: the neoclassical synthesis in action Michaël Assous1 Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Phare Muriel Dal Pont Legrand Université Cote d’Azur, CNRS GREDEG Sonia Manseri Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Phare Preliminary draft Abstract: The neoclassical synthesis which emerged in the late 1950s is associated to a specific understanding of the connection between short-run Keynesian and long-run neoclassical analyses. In the early 1960s, when economists from both Cambridges tried to revisit the conditions likely to guarantee the stability of long-run paths, this view was challenged. Then, issues related to the determinants of income distribution and expectations were raised. Our goal in this article is to discuss the significance of these findings and see how they challenged the whole neoclassical synthesis. Using original archives material from Duke and Cambridge (UK) Universities, the paper pays mostly attention to arguments raised by Frank Hahn, Nicholas Kaldor, Paul Samuelson, Armatya Sen and Robert Solow. 1 Contact : [email protected]. 1 Introduction In 1955, Samuelson introduced the notion of neoclassical synthesis in the third edition of his Economics. With the works of Robert Solow, James Meade, Trevor Swan and James Tobin, the synthesis started designating the outcome of a process by which short-run Keynesian and long-run neoclassical analyses were made compatible. In a nutshell, as long as the economy was supposed to be managed on a Keynesian-basis in the short-run, the neoclassical growth model was seen as the more appropriate tool to analyze and sustain full-employment growth. In addition, with the publication of Solow 1957 paper, the neoclassical synthesis meant a particular way to empirically deal with the long-run impact of technical progress.

    Traverse Analysis: Progenitors and Pioneers 14th History of Economic Thought Society of Australia Conference The University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia. 11th July 2001 Colin Richardson* School of Economics University of Tasmania ABSTRACT Traverse analysis has two progenitors (David Ricardo, Karl Marx) and five pioneers: Michal Kalecki, Adolph Lowe, Joan Robinson, J.R. Hicks, and John Hicks. Defined as the dynamic disequilibrium adjustment-path that connects an initial with a different terminal state of economic growth, the traverse comes in four “flavours”. There are neoclassical (J.R. Hicks), neo-Austrian (John Hicks), observed (Ricardo, Marx, Kalecki, Robinson), and instrumental (Lowe) traverses. These terms are explained and the seven seminal contributions are summarised and commented upon in this paper. * I am indebted to Dr Jerry Courvisanos for his supervision and comments in writing this paper. Scholarship support from The University of Tasmania is also gratefully acknowledged. 2 Introduction Nobel laureate economist Robert Solow once quipped: “The traverse is the easiest part of skiing but the most difficult part of economics”. Later, Joseph Halevi and Peter Kriesler (1992, p 225) complained that “The traverse is at the same time one of the most important concepts in economic theory, and also one of the most neglected.” This paper outlines briefly the history of economic thought between 1821 and 1973 concerning this difficult, important and neglected theoretical construct. Traverse analysis has two progenitors (David Ricardo, Karl Marx) and five pioneers: Michal Kalecki, Adolph Lowe, Joan Robinson, J.R. Hicks, and John Hicks. Defined as the dynamic disequilibrium adjustment-path that connects an initial with a different terminal state of economic growth, the traverse comes in four “flavours”.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Business Book Chapters by an authorized administrator of ResearchOnline@ND. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Chapter 7 Mythical Expectations Robert Leeson and Warren Young According to the conventional account, economists have relied on three types of expectations: static (contained in the original Keynesian Phillips curve); adaptive (introduced by Milton Friedman’s in the course of his Monetarist counter-revolution) and rational (part of Robert Lucas’s natural rate New Classical counter revolution). This chapter argues that there a fourth expectational type: the myths associated with these natural rate counter revolutions. The conventional chronology regarding the relationship between expectations and the Phillips curve is that Friedman's 1967 AEA Presidential Address (Friedman, 1968a) transformed macroeconomics by focusing on the neglect of expectations in the Keynesian Phillips curve. However, the archival evidence reveals this conventional account to be both inadequate and inaccurate . In this chapter, it will be shown that Phillips allocated a more destabilising role to inflationary expectations than did Friedman and that the adaptive expectations formula used to undermine the original Phillips curve was actually provided to Friedman by Phillips.
